Card Scraper 101
The Card Scraper (or Cabinet Scraper) is one of the cheapest and most useful tools around when you’re ready to start the finishing process. Its not only great for smoothing the surface of the wood before finishing, but it’s also great for smoothing out surfaces between coats. I often use a card scraper on painted wood projects too because it can give you a far smoother result with a lot less mess and a lot faster than sanding.
But a card scraper, like all tools, needs to be sharp. I will show you have to take a dull scraper and clean up the edges, then turn a nice cutting burr on the edge. It’s not difficult to do. If you have an old card scraper, bring it and we’ll get it ready to use. If not, I will bring a bunch so that everyone can sharpen one. There is no substitute for doing in this case.
5-6pm will be open discussion 6-8pm will be demonstration and practice 8-9pm will be practice and cleanup.

Hand Plane 101
Every woodworker needs to have at least a couple of hand planes. Period. But folks have a love-hate relationship with hand plane for two reasons: they don’t understand how to adjust them, and they don’t know how to keep them sharp. If you don’t do both, you WILL hate them. If you can do both, you will find yourself picking up that place a lot more often than you can imagine.
In this session we will discuss sharpening and tuning a basic smoothing plane (like a Number 4 Stanley). I will show you how to set the blade in the plane and adjust it to take smooth shavings which leave an amazingly smooth edge. We will also discuss surface planning techniques as time allows.
I plan to bring a large selection of specialty planes as well. These are designed to do very specific tasks and you will be surprised at how fast and accurate you can be with them. You are welcome to try them out if you like. You may or may not decide that these are must-haves, but I promise if you have done much woodworking you will think of some problem you once had where one of these planes would have been the perfect solution. The good news is that the Guild owns a number of these planes as well. If you’re intrigued, you ought to visit the Hand Tool Workshop on Thursdays to learn a lot more.
This class will take place in the Ziegler Classroom.
5-6pm will be open discussion 6-8pm will be demonstration and practice 8-9pm will be practice and cleanup.

Using a Horizontal Router Table
A very handy variation on the vertical router table thatmost people are familiar with is a horizontal router table where the router andcutting bit are mounted parallel with the table on the side fence. This toolhas some distinct advantages to the conventional router table in that it isvery easy to build, does not take up much space, and it allows you to do somevery precise milling operations with more control of the workpiece. I built oneof these in order to mill mortice and tenon joints in very thin slats of wood(less than ½’ thick). Its one of those tools that, once you use it, will becomea must-have.
5-6pm will be open discussion 6-8pm will be demonstration and practice 8-9pm will be practice and cleanup.
